The tour includes a casual, one mile, indoor guided tour of the display showroom, fabrication and assembly areas.
There will be no sales presentations during your time at the House of Fire, and you won’t have the option to purchase products directly from the factory. However, there will be numerous products on display in our factory showroom and we're happy to answer questions you may have if you're in the market for a fireplace.
The tour is not open to individuals, agents or those employed at other companies in the hearth industry or competitive Travis retailers.

We're homeowners too, and only build hearth products we'd put in our homes -products that safely create warmth and comfort for the entire family. You'll quickly realize that our company resembles a close-knit family dedicated to crafting only the finest in hearth products. Because of this family-first mantra, children are allowed on the factory tour. We ask you accept responsibility for children in your group and watch over their safety.
